“at American University, he [Obama} compared the agreement’s opponents with Iranian extremists chanting “death to America.”

But he says the Iranians don’t mean it, so is it a bad thing or not??

And what is the alternative to the Democrats? the Republicans. It is to laugh, bitterly, but to laugh nonetheless.

The Iran deal has potential …
Indeed, according to the formula E = mc².

Every muzzie attack in/on the US or Israel after a sustained veto will be the direct responsibility of the Democrats.

LOL!
Schumer just doesn’t want to upset any Jewish donors. Reid is letting him and select others vote against it.

POLITICO loves the Kabuki. Loves selling it to the suckers.

People, call your Senators, even DemoRATS, so they know you oppose this and they will bear the wrath of your displeasure in the next election.

This agreement is BAD, BAD. Kerry’s and Obama’s INCOMPETENCE
shows.

Why did they write this? Doesn’t Obama have the votes already? Didn’t Schumer state publicly he wouldn’t lobby any Dems to join him? Good piece but the speculation seemed pointless. We all know Obama is a horses ass. So now 60% of the public knows it too.

If Schumer (or anyone) can save America from the Manchurian/Kenyan/Indonesian Candidate’s treasonous nuclear-ization of our sworn enemies in Iran who fully intend to destroy us
,
he will be a big-time hero in our book. A hero right up there
with America’s greatest!

(we still don’t care for much of Sen. Schumer’s leftist politics, just had to say that. But Bless him if he can save us from The One’s setting us up for nuclear destruction)

Too late Boyz!

Democratic Blues

Barack Obama will leave his party in its worst shape since the Great Depression—even if Hillary wins.

It's not clear to me that Schumer is doing anything beyond his statement to convince democrat Senators. And should he make the attempt and succeed, unlikely, the alternative to Obama/Hillary/Biden isn't Schumer, who won't be on the ticket, it's the GOP

“By contrast, Schumer’s principled stand enjoys broad support:”

Schumer and “principled” should never be used in the same sentence@

Regardless of what this article points out, the fact remains that Democrats are wrong on most issues. A majority of elected Democrats will support this insanity. Give them no peace on this issue or anyother. There isn't a participation trophy for correct thinking.

Schmuckee can’t use filibuster or blocking cloture or any of that. The Iran deal was crafted by imbeciles led by Corker of TN so that it was not a treaty, so that it wouldn’t require 2/3’s of the Senate to to APPROVE it as a treaty. It was crafted to be a bill to be sent to Obama for his signature and he will veto it; that’s a given. So it will take 2/3’s of BOTH the House and the Senate to override his veto.

That means to stop the Iran deal, it will take 2/3’s of Congress to DISAPPROVE the deal.

But whatever Congress does, it won’t matter anyway. Obama already broke his promise to not go to the UN to approve the deal. The UN ha already approved the deal and that means the hundreds of billions of dollars will start a process to transfer to the control of a terrorist state. That means a very high probability of war in the future.

Corker is one of the biggest imbeciles in US history. How Tennessee with its fantastic people and incredible conservatism cam elect the likes of Alexander and Corker seems as a mystery but for the aware it’s not surprising. The oligarchical control of US Senate elections stemming from the history and evolution of the consequences of the 17th Amendment, and the pallet of political tricks and procedures to hide a politician’s true stripes, all have led to a US Senate that sells itself to the highest bidder while appearing to be ‘reasonable’, ‘proper’ and ‘cultivated’.

And they wonder why there’s a revolt in progress in America today.
